To suggest, as some Creationist and Darwinist have, that the jury has spoken and no debate is neccesary would make someone very close minded.

I need to ask, to what debate, specifically, are you referring?

On the one hand, anti-evolutionists/creationists insist and assert, based on religious beliefs that human beings did not descend from lower animals. On the other hand scientists say that this is what the evidence shows, and the leadership of most Christian religions agree with the scientists.

There is really not a debate here. The anti-evolution/creationist side has no evidence or argument whatsoever other than blind faith.

We'll start with the debate here on FR. But you are certainly aware of the debate outside of FR.

On the one hand, anti-evolutionists/creationists insist and assert, based on religious beliefs that human beings did not descend from lower animals. On the other hand scientists say that this is what the evidence shows, and the leadership of most Christian religions agree with the scientists/

It also seems, that you have answered your own question.

But, the real debate is within each individual.

The anti-evolution/creationist side has no evidence or argument whatsoever other than blind faith.

I would suggest that we need to be thinking about the implications of both Darwinism and the anti-evolutionist and how it leads to the either the rebirth of eugenics or a fascist theocracy.

In the meantime, while I'm still alive, while the jury is still out, I will seek out information and try to find what works for me.
